Your questions about fire rated sealant in Canonbie
Do you cover Canonbie for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Canonbie is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant around Canonbie

Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Canonbie
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
In and around Canonbie, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Canonbie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
